BLADES: Firefighters respond to fire at Perdue AgriRecycle plant

Firefighters respond to a fire at the Perdue AgriRecycle plant south of Blades on Enviro Way off of Seaford Road.

Firefighters responded to a fire at the Perdue AgriRecycle plant south of Blades on Enviro Way off of Seaford Road. The fire occurred at about 6:50 p.m. Saturday, according to Blades Fire Chief Ronnie Fensick.

He said the fire was caused by a spontaneous combustion in a shaker, which caught fire. This led to the sprinkler system turning on along with an evacuation system -- which filters fumes -- but the evacuation system caused fires in three towers, Fensick said. There were no injuries and no major loss of equipment, he said.
